    AbstractThis paper discusses a kind of interview whose narrative structure has the interviewee-narrator assuming different personas during its course. In these kinds of interviews the narrator not only reflects on experience, but uses the interview situation to actively configure future experience, in this case to change a frustrating, overwhelming experience of mysterious, intractable pain into something more meaningful. The paper links narrative to experience by examining certain dialogic processes in narratives that engage in, as well as reflect on, practice, in this case, a kind of self-therapy.
